Add sub levels to Child Menu

    Still enjoying working with this theme.
    This is still a long ways from completion but it’s going to blow the previous site away. (In my own humble opinion. lol)

    Anyhow… as the subject states, how can I get another sub level to appear in the child menu.

    sbrs-04.shoeboxradio.ca/

    I’ve played with the sidebar.php file (line 28 or there abouts) and changed the number to 4.

    Tried some changes in CSS but I’m out of my element here.

    For example “Co-Hosts” is a sub level of “Homepage”.

    I would like “Co-Hosts 2009” as a sub level of it.

    Then I would like “Co-Host 2009 – Jezibelle” or “Jezibelle” as another sub level.

    The only other reason that I can think of for this not working is that there’s a width constraint on the sidebar.

    Any chance for some help?

    Maybe the question should be, is this possible?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi loonattic. This question has been asked before. Here is one thread where I think the user was successful. Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I did see that thread but was unsuccessful in duplicating the results.

    I’ll go back and try it some more.

    I’ll post back if it ends up working out.

    It was this line from the suggestion that i didn’t grasp.

    “I didn’t have time to play with the css but think it might involve more than just adding ul elements.”

    Is this done through CSS or the php file?

    I provided the php code that needed to be modified but I didn’t have time to figure out exactly what needed to be changed in the css. I think he indicated that he thought it was just a matter of adding additional list elements, but I thought it was more involved than that. If you check his site it appears that he got it to work.

    Hi again db…
    I think it’s working now.

    Just need to style it.

    Is there a way to have the menu auto expand?

    I think that might be a bootstrap setting?

    “Auto expand” as in not having to hover over the menu item?

    That is correct.

    Any menu item with a plus would be automatically expanded to see the sub-levels.

    I’ll have a look through some bootstrap snippets.

    If I recall my brief fling with bootstrap, there’s a way to make a menu auto expand by changing something from “false” to “true” in the bootstrap code.

    I’ll let you know.

    Thanks for your continuing support.

    Found this thread. Sounded related but don’t know if it’s exactly what you’re looking for.

    I think I stumbled upon the solution.

    By changing line 1368 in the Hueman CSS (copied to Child Theme CSS)

    from:

    .child-menu > li.current_page_ancestor > ul ul { display: <strong>none</strong>; }

    to this:

    .child-menu > li.current_page_ancestor > ul ul { display: block; }

    forces the Child Menu sub-levels to show expanded.

    I haven’t done enough testing to know if this truly is the fix but it looks promising.

    Thanks for the update.
    Never hurts to look at other possible fixes.
